The U.S. Department of Human Services has advised all diplomatic missions in Washington to disregard the so-called "Trump Deportation List," stating it is not valid.
Namibia's embassy confirmed the advisory from U.S. authorities.
The list, which includes the names of alleged illegal immigrants facing deportation from the U.S., circulated on social media on Tuesday.
Nineteen Namibians are among those alleged to be undocumented and on the wrong side of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
However, Namibia's ambassador to the U.S. told nbc News that the communication from the Department of Human Services confirmed the document's inauthenticity.
Margareth Mensah-Williams stated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue its standard process, which involves requesting travel documents from embassies for individuals with final orders of removal.
Mensah-Williams assured the nation that the mission would officially communicate through the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation should there be any changes in this situation.
The purported "Trump Deportation List" is circulating in the wake of President Donald Trump's tough stance on illegal immigration and securing U.S. borders.
In just days into Trump's presidency, more than 1,000 illegal and undocumented immigrants have been deported, according to statistics from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
Despite criticism of the manner in which deportations are conducted, the Trump administration vowed to continue swift implementation.
Media reports last week quoted Colombian President Gustavo Petro as saying that "the U.S. can't treat Colombian migrants like criminals" and that they need to be "treated with dignity."
The migrants were loaded on a U.S. plane in handcuffs and leg irons.
